The Ridiculously Thorough Guide to Making Your Own Pizza. How useful! My few attempts at homemade pizza have seriously sucked. (Link courtesy of not martha.)
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I make homemade pizza all the time and I never do the ‘rise/punch down’ step. Ever. And mine turns out great. But maybe I’ll try it next time…
Glad they got the olive oil right… in my mind that’s the biggest factor that differentiates great pizza from Domino’s.
The Snook is annoyed by the guy’s dismissal of pizza stones, which he feels are essential (as long as you get them smoking hot first).
I’ve had good luck with my old pizza stone once it got nice and seasoned, but then it broke…
On the guy’s advice, I bought one of those pizza foil thingies and I have to admit it did work well (especially considering that it’s compared to using a cookie sheet).
